David Goyer is a busy fellow. He’s more or less the main man in charge of bringing DC Comics to the big screen; a sort of shadowy, unofficial Kevin Feige, if you will. And with that responsibility comes a hefty workload. Goyer’s had to churn out drafts of Batman vs. Superman, supervise the writing process for Joseph Gordon Levitt’s Sandman adaptation and executive produce Constantine for NBC. Soon he’ll be in charge of sedating Jesse Eisenberg, thus allowing a team of hair and makeup professionals to safely shave off those chestnut-brown curls. That’s a lot for a single Goyer to manage. Especially so when it’s all comic book films; the genre may appeal to the inner pimply-faced nerd who lurks within us all, but a strict diet of superheroes isn’t enough to sustain a full-grown human being. And so Goyer, who’s reportedly been jonesing to helm something non DC-related...

David S. Goyer, perhaps best known for penning The Dark Knight trilogy, will be directing a sci-fi thriller called The Breach for Lionsgate. Based on Patrick Lee’s 2009 novel, the script (penned by Justin Rhodes) will center on a corrupt ex-cop who discovers the wreckage of a plane crash in Alaska. From there, he’s thrust into an adventure that involves secret organizations and alien tech powerful enough to spell the end of the world in the wrong hands.

Nerds, for better or worse, should probably worship at the altar of David Goyer. The guy kickstarted the comic book movie boom and rescued Marvel from financial insolvency by penning the Blade series. Then Warner Bros. recruited him to help re-invent Batman with Christopher Nolan. The WB also kept him on for Man Of Steel, and now Goyer is providing the blueprint for their entire comic-inspired shared universe. It.s that sort of far-reaching influence that makes you forget some of the not-that-interesting credits on his resume. Just start with his TV producing credits for Freakylinks and FlashForward and work your way out from there. Nonetheless, his name was strong enough to start a bidding war for his latest project, and Lionsgate is the victor. As per THR, Goyer is directing The Breach, an adaptation of a Patrick Lee novel being written by Justin Rhodes (Grassroots). Big shot producer Lorenzo...

Justin Rhodes (Grassroots, Contract Killers) will adapt the book which follows corrupt ex-cop who is trying to get his life back in order when he discovers a crashed plane in the Alaska wilderness.

Back in 2012, David S. Goyer made headlines when he optioned the rights for Patrick Lee’s doomsday-thriller novel, The Breach.
He and Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) teamed up for the adaptation when the news first hit, and now THR reports that the duo took the package to studios last week, with Lionsgate winning the rights in a deal late on Friday night.
Goyer’s adaptation of The Breach had had interest from Warner Bros., Fox, Relativity, and Millennium, but it’s believed that it was Lionsgate’s strong enthusiasm to fast-track the project that was the deciding factor.
Initially, there had been a question over whether Goyer would be directing as well as producing, and now it looks like that he will indeed be going behind the camera, keen to return to the director’s chair for his first film since 2009’s The Unborn.

Over the weekend, I read a great article on Forbes that outlined how Warner Bros is seemingly trying to put a little bit of distance between themselves and the Nolan/Goyer tandem that created their last 4 big DC properties. Now THR is adding fuel to that fire with its report that David Goyer has signed on to direct The Breach for Lionsgate.
Why do these two items seemingly relate to each other? Because with the intense production schedule that the untitled Batman/Superman project and Justice League are heading into these next two years, it says something that Goyer is going to be able to find the time to prep, shoot, and finish off production on a completely separate project for another studio- if he’s going to be as involved as everyone initially thought he was with WB/DC’s upcoming slate.

The Breach, the first in a trilogy of novels written by Patrick Lee, has been optioned by Lionsgate Entertainment for feature film use with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (G.I. Joe, Transformers) producing. Thirty years ago, in a facility buried beneath a vast Wyoming emptiness, an experiment gone awry accidentally opened a door. It is the world's best-kept secret—and its most terrifying. Trying to regain his life in the Alaskan wilds, ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase stumbles upon an impossible scene: a crashed 747 passenger jet filled with the murdered dead, including the wife of the President of the United States. Though a nightmare of monumental proportions, it pales before the terror to come, as Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact. Allied with a...

David S. Goyer has signed on to direct sci-fi thriller The Breach for Lionsgate, says The Hollywood Reporter . Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing the adaptation of the book, written by Patrick Lee. Justin Rhodes wrote the script. The book is officially described as follows: Travis Chase, a man putting his life back together after fifteen years in prison, takes a solo hike into the Alaskan Rockies. He's just looking for a quiet place to think about his future, but what he finds is trouble: a 747, downed in remote wilderness, the wreck impossibly undiscovered by authorities. Those aboard are dead, though not because of the crash. They've been shot. This aircraft, along with the terrifying object it was transporting, is only the beginning for Travis. Within hours he finds...

Update: Goyer clearly liked the script – he's now officially aboard to direct the adaptation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His incarnation of Batman may have retired, but writer David Goyer hasn't made a similar retreat from the Hollywood blockbuster. There have been the not-small matters of Godzilla and Man Of Steel to be getting on with, but Goyer, along with Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is now also getting to work on an adaptation of Patrick Lee's novel The Breach.Published in 2009, Lee's airport doorstop is in some way a late entry into that Da Vinci Code cycle of globe-trotting, artefact-chasing adventures. But it's also a bit more interesting than that, throwing in sci-fi elements like dimensional rifts.The basic set-up sees an indestructible ex-cop, going by the none-more-action name of Travis Chase, taking himself out of society to live as Jeremiah Johnson in Alaska.

Exclusive: Having launched a TV division in April, Perfect Storm Entertainment has found its first project for the small screen – and it comes from the pen of Bruce Lee. Fast & The Furious 6 director Justin Lin and Seven Stars Studios’ Bruno Wu’s joint venture has partnered with Bruce Lee Enterprises for a TV series based on material written by the iconic Enter The Dragon actor. Details are sketchy on the one-hour drama, but it looks like Lin could direct the pilot, my sources say. CAA is repping the drama and Perfect Storm is planning to begin meeting with potential showrunners soon. This project — a passion for Lee, I’ve heard — is the first one Lin has formally gotten involved with since F&F6 came out in May. In February, Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr reported that Lin is attached to direct an adaptation of Patrick Lee’s upcoming The Breach...

Much as we’d like for director Justin Lin to just keep churning out Fast and Furious films forever and ever, the filmmaker appears to have a hankering for a some slightly different fare. Deadline Hollywood reports that the helmer has signed on to direct the big screen adaptation of author Patrick Lee‘s next novel, an untitled action thriller that will kick off a planned three-book series and that doesn’t even release until next winter. While we don’t know much about the project, the outlet does reveal that the book centers on “an ex-special operative named Sam Dryden. In the character-driven thriller, Dryden runs into a mysterious young girl who is not quite what she seems, and he embarks on a journey to keep her safe from a powerful government agent intent on hunting her down.” This could really mean just about anything, but hey, planned thrills!

Warner Bros. has won a bidding war for the rights to an upcoming untitled action thriller novel by Patrick Lee who wrote The Breach. The studio has brought on Justin Lin (Fast Five) to adapt the book for the big screen.
According to Deadline the book is the start of a series that features "an ex-special operative named Sam Dryden. In the character-driven thriller, Dryden runs into a mysterious young girl who is not quite what she seems, and he embarks on a journey to keep her safe from a powerful government agent intent on hunting her down."
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Lin direct a movie that isn't part of the Fast and Furious franchise. There's no word on when he'll get around to making this one. He's still an executive producer on the Highlander reboot, he's developing a movie called Subdivision at Universal, and a film about...

After making nothing but “Fast and Furious” movies for the last five years, Justin Lin may finally get a chance to venture off into new territory. Warner Bros has won a bidding war to acquire the rights to an upcoming novel by "The Breach" author Patrick Lee, with Lin attached to direct. The novel does not appear to have a title at the moment, but apparently it’s part of a three-book deal that the author has with Macmillan Publishers. The novel, which is described as a “character-driven thriller,” follows ex-special operative Sam Dryden as he “runs into a mysterious young girl who is not quite what she seems, and he embarks on a journey to keep her safe from a powerful government agent intent on hunting her down.” While the project doesn’t appear to stray too far from Justin Lin’s wheelhouse, it should still be interesting to...

Much like Stephen King,Michael Crichton and John Grisham before him, author Patrick Lee is starting to find a home in Hollywood. His first book, The Breach, which was first published in 2009, is already getting the film treatment courtesy of screenwriter Justin Rhodes and producers David S. Goyer and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and now Lee's next novel, which doesn't even have a title yet, has gotten the attention of one of the business' biggest action directors. Justin Lin, best known for directing The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five and the soon-to-arrive Fast & Furious 6, is now attached to helm an adaptation of Patrick Lee's latest, according to Deadline.

Exclusive: Warner Bros won a multiple studio bidding battle for screen rights to an upcoming thriller novel by The Breach author Patrick Lee. Justin Lin is attached to direct and produce with Michael De Luca. The untitled action thriller was just auctioned in a big pre-emptive, three-book deal that will be published next winter by Macmillan. The book is the first of a series featuring an ex-special operative named Sam Dryden. In the character-driven thriller, Dryden runs into a mysterious young girl who is not quite what she seems, and he embarks on a journey to keep her safe from a powerful government agent intent on hunting her down. This comes as Lin puts the finishing touches on Fast & Furious 6 for Universal, which he directed and produced. That marks his fourth turn in the high-octane action series he helped revive, and Lin is now looking for other films to do through his Barnstorm Pictures banner.
